Style, Fashion Rules, traditions, Flat caps, and the missing element...

[Raphael]

I wasn't trying to bait the traditionalists. In fact, I think the traditional way of dressing is fantastic. I was just trying to say that how we can express ourselves differently through a piece of clothing and to create our own styles.

I have no problem in wearing the kilt, but I still feel a little insecure in wearing the traditional dress because I am not right. I feel like that I am trying too hard to fit into another culture. I already ignore all the comments about me trying to dress up like a Scot. Dressing myself up the traditional Scottish way won't sit well with me. That's why I mix other elements of my life to create a fusion style. I just want to dress in a way that I am comfortable in.
